Hello. Thank you for visiting

Hello, I’m Sharon.

I live in Arundel, West Sussex with my husband and our gorgeous Cyprus rescue Poodle who has travelled extensively with us on nearly every mode of transport and has held 3 different passports – Cypriot, UK and France. He is most certainly quite the little globetrotter.

My love for travel began with my very first flight at just three years old. From that moment, I knew this was the industry I wanted to be part of. Over the past 40+ years, I’ve worked across many sectors of the travel and tourism industry, gaining invaluable experience & knowledge , of most elements that make up your holiday such as airlines - both on the ground and in the air, cruise lines, hotels - as well as co-owning a coach travel business for 20 years with my husband, and owning a Chambres d'hotes in Brittany, France .

I grew up in beautiful South Africa, moving to the UK in my mid twenties. During my childhood, due to the size of South Africa, it was never necessary to travel abroad, so as a family we travelled extensively within the country. As well as visits to smaller countries in Southern Africa such as Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. As a young adult, after a few years with South African Airways, I then embarked onto my travel agent journey, selling inbound as well as outbound holidays. So my knowledge of South Africa is extensive, should this be a destination you are interested in. I have also lived in Brittany, France, and my travels have taken me to incredible destinations including the Caribbean, Canada, New York, Iceland, Mauritius, Dubai, and India — to name just a few. I also have a passion for cruising - where else can you be in a luxury hotel, unpack once, yet visit multiple destinations.

What I love most about my job is helping bring a customer’s travel vision to life. I’m passionate about creating unforgettable holidays that are as unique as each of my clients. From our first conversation, we’ll talk about your ideal trip — your likes, dislikes, and those special little touches that will make it truly memorable. From there, I’ll craft a bespoke itinerary just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of relaxing on a beach, exploring a vibrant city, or setting sail on a luxury cruise, I’m here to help you every step of the way — from the moment you book until you return home. And with 24/7 support, you're never on your own.

With my exceptional customer service, care, attention to detail, and the backing of Travel Counsellors — a globally recognised and trusted brand — you’ll have complete financial protection and total peace of mind.

So, whether it’s a cosy UK getaway or a grand, round-the-world adventure, I’ll work closely with you to make sure your trip is everything you’ve dreamed of — and more.

For me, travel isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about the stories, the memories, and the joy of discovery.

I’m your personal Travel Advisor, here to turn your travel dreams into reality.

What my customers say

5 * Trustpilot review I was really nervous about using a Travel Counsellor I was really nervous about booking through a travel counsellor as I've always planned every aspect of my holidays myself before...but I have to say, it was so nice to have someone else do all the researching, asking different operators all the questions, and being the go-between. All documents we needed were in one app rather than having one email for the travel, one for the hotel, one for the different events we booked for our trip. It made things much easier, and when I had an issue getting into the app while away, Sharon jumped straight on it. She also definitely managed to get the lowest price (yes, the control freak in me checked 🤣). Honestly a very refreshingly different experience and I will be using Sharon for our future trips!!

Sharon, our Travel Counsellor listened to us when we described our ideal honeymoon and offered imaginative and creative suggestions for activities. We were offered several options for our accommodation so we could tailor the experience to fit our budget and enable us to allocate our funds to the parts of our honeymoon which were important to us - food, wine and a bit of culture in Northern Spain! Sharon was patient, professional and understanding with all our requests and was super quick to respond. I wouldn't hesitate in using travel counsellors again and have already planned our next married adventure.

Sharon has been fantastic in helping my mum and I plan our perfect cruise around Italy and Greece for next September.She was endlessly patient, taking the time to answer every one of our many questions with thorough, knowledgeable responses and thoughtful, personal recommendations. With years of experience across a wide range of travel options, Sharon delivered an exceptional level of service. No question was ever too much—she was always there to guide us with clarity and care. I would highly recommend her.
